Enforce validation checkpoints

You're supporting order intake at Riverbend Retail, where webhook payloads sometimes arrive incomplete. Right now a starter workflow accepts every POST and marks orders as processed, which hides bad data downstream.

You'll import the sample workflow, then chain If checkpoints ahead of Process Order so invalid items stop with Stop and Error messages before any processing runs. You'll finish by proving both gates pass good orders and reject a missing order_id.
